Hurricanes start Brandon Bussi again as Frederik Andersen's status raises questions
Summary

The Carolina Hurricanes will again start Brandon Bussi in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals against an unnamed opponent. Bussi's strong performance in Game 4 helped tie the series at two games each. Meanwhile, the status of veteran goalie Frederik Andersen is unclear; he was previously indicated to be healthy but may now not even be the third-string goalie. The Hurricanes' decision to bring up Amir Miftakhov from the AHL raises concerns about Andersen's condition. Sources suggest he skated Thursday morning but did not participate in the morning skate ahead of Game 5.
